What types of precision optics and optical systems does SORL offer?

SORL (sorl.com) supplies precision optics across three broad categories: reflective components, mirror mounts and accessories, and complete optical test and telescope systems. The company states it produces aspheric optical systems and instrumentation for research and test applications, plus reflective components for airborne, space-based, and astronomical optical testing. If your project needs off-the-shelf reflective optics, a mounting solution, or an interferometric test system, the product lines below are the place to start.

Reflective optics

SORL's mirror lineup covers the main geometries used in optical testing and instrumentation:

• Off-axis parabolic mirrors — parabolic reflectors used where the focal point must sit outside the incoming beam path.
• On-axis parabolic mirrors — the conventional parabolic geometry with the focus on the optical axis.
• Flat mirrors — plane reflectors for beam steering and folding.
• Spherical mirrors — curved reflectors for focusing and relay applications.

These are the components SORL describes as providing "precise solutions to the problems of optical testing" in airborne, space-based, and astronomical work.

Mirror mounts and accessories

Two mount series are listed alongside the mirrors:

Both are grouped under mounts and accessories, so they are the supporting hardware for positioning and holding the reflective components above.

Optical systems and instrumentation

Beyond individual components, SORL lists complete systems:

• LUPI-II Systems — a system line in the optical testing family.
• R&D Fourier System — a research-oriented system.
• Telescope Systems — telescope assemblies.

SORL frames these as analytical tools for optical research, developed for research and test applications rather than general consumer use.

How to decide whether SORL fits your project

Match your need to the category:

• You need a single reflective optic (parabolic, flat, or spherical) → look at the mirror product lines.
• You need to mount and align that optic → check the COAR or TOAN mount series.
• You need a full test or telescope setup → the LUPI-II, R&D Fourier, or telescope systems are the relevant lines.
• Your application is airborne, space-based, or astronomical testing → SORL explicitly positions its reflective components for these environments.

Because SORL describes itself as producing aspheric systems and instrumentation to high precision levels after more than fifty years in the industry, it is oriented toward research, test, and instrumentation buyers rather than casual or hobbyist optics.

Getting specifications and pricing

The site provides a Technical Documents section and a Request a Quote option. Since the homepage does not publish prices, part numbers, or detailed specifications, use those two entry points to get the data you need for a build decision. Contact details listed are 800.552.7675 and [email protected].
